"For all races and creeds." The
motto of Hadassah-Hebrew Uni
versity Medical Centre recognizes
neither politics nor frontiers; it
treats Arab and Jew alike. Medi
cal students come from as far
as Ghana and Nepal. Hadassah,
the Women's Zionist Organiza
tion of America, began its medi
cal work in Palestine in 1913,
and now runs clinics, vocational
schools, and research facilities.
Symbolic artistry, stained-glass
windows in the synagogue at Ha
dassah depict the 12 tribes of Is
rael. French artist Marc Chagall
based his designs on the animals,
symbols, and colors associated
with each tribe in the Old Testa
ment. This photograph was taken
through a window broken during
the war and since replaced.
